#RPCL Log Date July 19, 2017 #BeingHuman #SetShameFree
Sometimes we inadvertently achieve the undesirable “kicked puppy status” in life or at work, where someone above us is taking advantage of our dependence to survive. What about you, do you believe in the threats coming at you by those of a higher station? Is fear clouding your vision and clarity? Are you too ashamed that you won’t […]

I know I’m not alone when I have my days of wondering, what’s it all for. Why is life so effing hard? I wonder ‘to what end’ sometimes too. Especially when we have taught ourselves that personal fulfillment is more important than collective fulfillment. Self without society equals? Your mission, if you choose to accept […]

These days everyone’s a critic. We can’t seem to get through a day without looking down upon the media or whatever the media is reporting about or even our own damn reflection. Time to change that. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Be a positive critic of yourself and of others.

We can’t always navigate life to a happy ending – at least not on our own. And when we cannot see through the fog, or see what’s clearly ahead of us, we have friends, mentors or family to show us the way through the gray. Your mission: Don’t go it alone. When you’re on the wrong path […]
#RPCL Log Date July 14, 2017 #BeingHuman #LiteralCommunicators #ReadBetweenTheLines
Are you a literal communicator, or do you read between the lines. Working with a lot of engineers, I’ve come across a fair amount of both. What I’ve noticed about the literal communicators is that words matter more. Each word is measured. For those who read between the lines, the more metaphors, the merrier. Nuance becomes […]

Lately I’ve been talking to colleagues about a back up plan. It seems that something happens when we are looking at 40, 45 or 50. Maybe it happens in stages, but we realize that this couldn’t possibly be as good as it gets. There has to be more to the equation. The challenge with corporate […]
#RPCL Log Date July 4, 2017 #BeingHuman #DeeperConnection #PositiveExperience #IndependenceDay #FourthOfJuly
When we face adversity, people connect at deeper and more meaningful levels. It’s as if we are facing a greater enemy and banding together is as intimate as familial love. And through these experiences, we grow to have deeper love, trust and connection. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Create positive experiences where you can […]

An educated society is a civil society. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Time to take back our civility by supporting education for the masses. Public schools can and should contribute to success for all. #NoMoreReptiles #ReptilianBrain #BeCivilAndLogical #PublicSchoolsMatter Be kind. Be safe. Be appropriate. Now go!
#RPCL Log Date July 2, 2017 #BeingHuman #HumanValuesMotivate #EnergyBoost
Ever wonder why some folks have more energy than others? I believe it fundamentally ties to living your values. Many of us think we are. We have checked so many boxes and believe that, of course, we’ve “arrived”. And we should be happy, living our values. But the reality is, if many of us are so focused […]
